There, she will witness race and class distinction of a manner she could never have imagined.

a great read

I have read this book two times and I am still in love with it. The characters are rich and alive, you really end up feeling like you know them personally. The history was astonishing , I do hope Ms. Burns continues to write.

Ms. Burns did an amazing job of bringing many history to life through the fictional character Matilda. I cannot wait for the "Part II".....Leer más
